Terminal Skills

Overview

Terminal Skills (terminalskills.io) is a public catalog of reusable SKILL.md files for AI coding agents. This meta-skill teaches an agent how to find and install other skills from the catalog so it can extend its own capabilities on demand.

Use it when:

• The user asks for a task you don't have a focused skill for ("can you help me deploy to Coolify?", "set up a Stripe checkout", "audit accessibility")
• The user explicitly says "install a skill", "find a skill for X", or names "terminal-skills"
• A multi-step task would benefit from a domain-specific playbook before you start

The catalog is open-source (Apache-2.0). Each skill is a single SKILL.md with YAML frontmatter and a Markdown body, scoped to one platform or workflow.

Instructions

There are three access surfaces. Pick whichever the user's environment allows:

A. CLI (preferred when the user has a terminal)
